"Are you too 'independent' to ask for help?  Maybe shy, or even embarrassed to ask?  I was too, but realized (after missing many conferences because of my finances) that I could instead apply for help!  What financial gift will give you the confidence that you need to attend?   I encourage you to ask for what would make the difference for you.  Your presence will add to the treasure chest that is CMN. "
Julie Thompson, CMN member since 1995

We thank you for your interest in The Children’s Music Network and our International Conference.  Consistent with the values promoted by the organization, we would like to be able to include everyone who wants to attend, and we try to do that.  Unfortunately, our funds are limited and we may or may not be able to meet everyone’s needs.

Here’s the process.

1) Fill in this form and submit as soon as possible.
2) Go to the CMN website and register for the conference.  and that you will pay by check.

Who is eligible to apply?  Anyone whose financial situation would not allow them to attend the conference without assistance.

How much financial assistance is available?  
We have limited funds so please request only as much as you need to make it possible to attend.
